Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (such as cmdkey, net use, and Windows-style azcopy syntax) are presented in detail, with explicit examples and command lines. In contrast, Linux equivalents (such as mounting Azure Files with SMB or using azcopy with Linux syntax) are either missing or only briefly mentioned without examples. The order of presentation often places Windows solutions and tools before Linux ones, and there is a lack of parity in the depth of guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific command-line examples for azcopy, including syntax and parameters as used in bash.
- Include explicit instructions and sample commands for mounting Azure Files shares on Linux VMs (e.g., using mount.cifs or SMB tools).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows solutions are introduced together or alternate, rather than consistently leading with Windows.
- Where Windows tools or patterns (e.g., cmdkey, net use) are described, provide the direct Linux equivalents (e.g., mount commands, credential handling) with equal detail.
- Ensure that all tools mentioned (such as Azure CLI, azcopy, Storage Explorer) are described with usage notes for both platforms, and clarify any platform-specific limitations or differences.
